It is with a heavy heart that we tell you all that our dear staff member Tonibunny, who was with SSo from the start and was a good friend to many here, passed away 26th February.

She was a wonderful friend to many members of the site. She readily shared all her knowledge and experience of scoliosis and was always willing to help and encourage anyone who reached out to her. When she wasn't sharing her experience of scoliosis, she shared her love of books, art, and music. She had a love of learning and life that was infectious.

Mum to Maddy aged 14. Maddy is a patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital and had a growth rod inserted in November 2007. In March 2011 the growth rod was removed because the curve became too strong. In May 2011 Maddy had anterior release, 2 weeks traction on a Stryker Frame and then spinal fusion.

According to the photographer, I'm married to a Bond villain! Actually, the photo that was in reference to really does have him looking like he ought to be stroking a white persian and talking in a sinister voice

We would never even have considered a photo shoot like the one we had done, but I won it, and the photos were great

Click on User CP at the top left of the screen. Then click on Edit Options. If you scroll down you will see a section on Personal Messages. You can either allow Personal Messages from everyone, or restrict them to Administrators and Contacts. if you choose the latter, there is another sectiion in User CP, for saying who you want to be in your Contacts.

I can't log in as Pauline for some reason. I've tried every password I can think of and none have worked. When I put in a New Password request, it gave one for the DublinPauline account.
THanks for any help on this!

Unfortunately there is downtime with almost any hosting, and that's what happened. First off the database server was upgraded, tehn I think there had been a table-lock situation whihc had to be resolved. Should be ok now though
